Vincent van Gogh has proven to be a popular Halloween costume in the past few years. And why not? The artist did a lot of self-portraits, so he's very recognizable with his red beard and occasionally a missing ear. His distinctive painting style can be imitated. And his most famous works can make a great costume for a companion.
However, redditor ScrappyMasquerade has taken van Gogh to another level. You might think the image above is a painting, or digitally generated. I can't vouch for the veracity of the background, but that's him. Get a closer look at the makeup work.
ScrappyMasquerade debuted his van Gogh for a recent Halloween party. He said the makeup took about five hours, which was more effort than he had originally planned. He had already spent a couple of weeks assembling the clothing items and painting them with acrylic paints, down to the shoes. The arms are painted gloves. I hope he won a prize at the party!
